Ever wanted eyelash extensions, but wished someone else would try them for you first?!? Well, I teamed up with MTV Style to do some very serious, very hard hitting investigative reporting on eyelash extensions, so feel free to learn from my emotional journey. This video was insanely fun to make and I’d like to give a huge thank you to MTV Style for not making me do a tutorial!
